Strong. That’s the perfect description for the outlook of the nursing job market for upcoming years. As a nurse, the job search battle that most graduates face when entering the real world greatly diminishes. Why is the nursing industry so strong right now and how can you take advantage of this as you prepare to take on the role of an entry-level nurse? ATI Nursing Education shares statistics that explain.

“Over the next 20 years, the average age of the RN will increase and the size of the workforce will plateau as large numbers of RNs retire. Because demand for RNs is expected to increase during this time, a large and prolonged shortage of nurses is expected to hit the US in the latter half of the next decade.”
